7.5 mi. It's not uncommon to have windy runs at the bridge. Many times when I run sprints, I am fortunate to get a wind from the east to "push" me up the hill. Today was different. I did the mile warmup and ran the bridge with Mary Monks. She was doing 10 miles in … Continue reading Bah-reezy!

8mi. Today I ran with plenty of folks. Jen Q, Jen K, Regina, John Reback and Steve are all there early. There's a breeze from the SE so we enjoy cool temps all laps on the hill. The running of the hill was routine, no bathroom breaks, meaning I've figured out that eating big on … Continue reading Rocket NOT
7.5 mi. It has been a very long time, years, since I did a Blue Heron bridge run completely alone. Maybe a windy, rainy day before a hurricane? Today wasn't looking as if I'd be alone, Megan said she was coming via text and then changed her mind shortly thereafter. John Reback came first, once … Continue reading Almost alone
8 mi. Having missed last week's hill run in exchange for a flatland timed run, I showed up on time and found Teresa pulling in same as me. She gave me a pin to relay to Jessica, and we waited for Joe and Teresa's other swim buddy to start warmups. They did one lap, Joe … Continue reading Chatting in the breeze
7.5mi. It's changing seasons to summer and longer days. Which means when I finish running, I get the beginnings of a sunrise and once I'm home, I see good views across the lake in my neighborhood. I ran the whole time with Joe, who arrived when I did and stayed with me to talk even … Continue reading Light the way
11mi. I had asked Lanae if she was interested in running the day after Christmas, being I had not done a morning run or ride on the 25th. She said she was doing a hill repeat workout with Sharon at 7:30am and I was welcome to join. Great. I didn't run the usual bridge workout … Continue reading Where things need to be
8 mi. One of those days when John is sleeping at home so I know I need to run, not chatter at the end, and get home and ready for school. I ran the warmup lap #1 with Teresa. She saw Missy parking just before 5am and decided to go right to the bridge after … Continue reading It takes longer somedays
8 mi. There were no lights on today, even though prior weeks had a well-lit path on the south side of the bridge. I ran with Chiara in the company of Adrienne, Paul and Lennae. The breeze from the east felt very good, it was a challenge seeing where to go with all the cones. … Continue reading Bridge at dark
8mi. I was the first one at the run this morning, Paul and Chiara came shortly after me. Chiara ran my whole 6 miles of hills with me, and she was moving quick downhill. Lungs were the culprit uphill, but each climb led to her scampering down the other side very nicely. I joked as … Continue reading To Boston via Riviera Beach
7 mi. I usually run the bridges on Tuesday, but knowing I have to be hard legged on hills in three weeks. There are no people out that early near Phil Foster park, except for the homeless dudes that live under the bridge and the one lady that sleeps on the sidewalk and serves as … Continue reading Off peak traffic
